Fred Griffin Cleaned R. I. Red Platter at Monticello Show.

Fred Griffin, formerly editor of the Remington PtObb and for some time a resident of Monticello, has been an enthusiastic Rhode Island Red fancier for some time and he will not be satisfied until he has the best birds in t!he country. At the Monticello poultry show held last month he was extremely successful with tils exhibits and onp of his pullets was the highest scoring bird in the show, being graded 95% and also winning shape and color specials. On a pen of five birds he won every first. 9 ribbons, silver cup, incubator and about {2O worth of special premiums. Mr. Griffis did not have these birds at the time of the Rensselaer show. He is advertising in The Republican’s far famed classified columns and it is quite sure that Jasper county Rhode Island fanciers will have some of his stock to exhibit another year.
